From what I remember, neither one said it was the most useless additive.
All the additives had their issues, and none met the claims they all say they do.

Their tests were very controlled and if I recall only focused on the top end of the engine - not other parts of the fuel system or injectors???
That HondaCare warranty was your smartest thing you purchased w/your CR-V. Extended warranties need to be factored into a new car purchase and should be purchased, with the amount of crazy electronics and other components that are not like older vehicles.

BTW, been having the Christmas Tree of Lights issue on my Honda due to the injectors - I keep erasing the code with my BlueDriver app/OBD-II reader. Hoping Honda does the right thing and issues a warranty extension on them (as they did with the Honda Pilot a few years ago and their injector issues)...and I'm only 80k miles!;

Cars are no longer cars - they are electronic boxes on wheels!
This is the most useless additive verified by ChrisFix and Project Farm lol

Do all these deals require online purchase and pickup in the store, or can I just go to the store?

Advance Auto also has this deal, except slightly higher and have B1G1 for the 20oz bottle.

Although these products are supposed to "clean up" existing deposits, they obviously work better with continued and regular usage and when the system is not too dirty.

Its like applying wax to a car that's already got faded paint......the paint, and fuel injection system will last a lot longer when products are used towards the beginning of their lifespan, not after the damage is done.

Do things like this product actually do anything? Whenever I get fuel, the signs on the fuel already advertise how using their fuel will clean my fuel system…?

Unfortunately, some people have to learn it the hard way. Lexus is the way to go or at least a Toyota. Honda is like an European level of reliability these days. Newer Toyota though is into turbo too. Not sure how well it holds up in the long run.

Quote from SeanD1497 :
That's a pretty bold, specific statement. What's your evidence, aside from personal experience with a car or two? Everything I've seen directly contradicts this.

This isn't meant to be authoritative, but I know a very experienced Honda tech. He says they rarely do anything major to vehicles less than 5-6 years old, aside from precautionary recalls that don't produce symptoms in most cars, and most of their repair (non-maintenance) work is on high mileage vehicles and ones that have been badly neglected. I do own a Honda but it's my first in a long time and is only up to 50k, and well maintained by me. I'm a big fan of Mazda reliability though - we've had a ton in the family and they've only every needed routine maintenance, without exception (not counting my RX-7's back in the day, of course).
Well you shouldn't HAVE to do any major service on a Honda that's only 5 years old . But unfortunately the turbos are givin out, the rings are getting gummed up, the oil is getting diluted, injectors failing etc etc.

Manufacturers are getting pressured by these CAFE standards, so the engines have good specs on paper, but the trade-off is in the reliabilty.

Those days of Hondas that rack up a million miles on the original motors are over.

If you go for 20 oz bottles, you can do B1G1 along with using promo code "SPRING" get 40 oz for $16.91 at Advance Auto . Works out to 42 cent per oz.

Techron is pretty good stuff. My experiences:

My first car (going back 30 years now) wouldn't pass the NY smog test. This was back when they measured emissions through the tailpipe. My mechanic told me to run a bottle of this through a tank - passed with flying colors.

My current truck, a 94 Mazda B3000/Ford Ranger that I bought 10 years ago, sat for a really long time. The truck is a dog by today's standards, but this thing even had trouble maintaining highway speeds when I first bought it. One bottle of Techron through the tank, and it felt like a different truck by the time I refueled.

Quote from JL5 :
Take a visit over to various Honda Forums - Look at the CR-V Forums website.
  • Oil Dilution issues
  • Fuel Pump Failures
  • A/C compressor leaking
  • Fuel Injector issues

This is just a short list of Honda problems that is VERY widely complained and discussed about on these forums - so much so, that these are STICKEY'd on top of the forums. And these are vehicles in the last two Honda generations.

Honda, while a vehicle brand that has a large following and many older vehicles that easily can go 300k miles with normal upkeep, is starting to have reliability issues with these latest generations. I acknowledge that all vehicle brands have their issues but those listed above are not simple issues, they're major - and they are happening within 100k miles - well outside of the normal 3/36 warranty period.

What vehicles have required fuel injector replacement (@ $1,400+) before 100k miles?? I know of a 1999 vehicle with the original injectors in it...it still runs fine.

That's project farm. Chrisfix didn't find the differences to be significant and wasn't that impressed, but as he mentioned, he only looked at the cylinders of a much more complex system, whereas the techron made a clear difference on the older less complex system. Now whether the newer system keeps things a little cleanrer (in theory it should) or whether gunk could be building up more in the injectors/fuel rail (in theory it certainly is likely too slightly just to restrictions and there have been tests done to show this) is not answered, Anyway, so you're mostly right for Chrisfix, just maybe you wanched something else and attributed it to PF?

I have used the Techron once a year about a tank full befor a oil change. Non of my cars have turbo or direct injection. I cant say it has helped, but I wont know for sure. I always buy top tier fuel though too at the Kwick Trip or Costco. That being said, I could see it helping keeping the injectors clean in both direct and naturaly asperated motors, but obviously not a "cure" for leaking or sticky injectors.

I see can only see long term problems with turbo and direct injection systems. We have them soely to comply with ever increasing CAFE standards. We wont see these motors with the duribility of naturaly asperated motors. You wont see BIG MPG differance either. It only increases mpg on paper to comply with the regulaions. So in my mind you pay more and get less for the ever complex systems. Repair and proper diagnosis is hard to get. Costs for rebuilt motors will reduce the overall life span too. This moves us further to disposable cars and I do not see how that helps the environment. I do see it as punishment for even trying to use a automobile.

I have been trying to find a truck under $15,000 with less than 150K miles for 2 months. They do not exist anymore because to replace a truck with a new one starts at $80,000. Folks are keeping them longer, so if this helps, why not? New is unafordable and new is imposible to get a quarter of a million miles out of them. I dont see CAFE as a help to the environment anymore and it needs to be revisited by congress. Regulation gone long amuck..
